Roasted Artichoke with Lemon and Garlic

Artichokes were on sale this week at the grocery store, so I figured I would try cooking them for the first time. I love spinach artichoke dip, so I’ve had artichokes before, but never fresh–only canned. Artichokes are super pretty, with their purple accents and repeating petals. But, surprise! They are prickly and tough, with a soft ‘heart’ in the center. Roasting them makes the inner petals soft and edible. Who ever figured out that these things were actually edible?

The roasted artichokes tasted surprisingly great with the garlic, lemon, and parmesan flavors cooked into them. But honestly, I felt like there was a lot of work to eat the things for only a little bit of food. It’s like lobster for me – I don’t see what all the fuss is, when you do a lot of work for the little bits of meat and just dab the whole thing in butter, anyway. If I wanted to eat melted butter (but really, I wouldn’t), I could do it without all that work! So in the end, I’m glad I tried making and eating fresh artichokes, but I think I’ll stick to canned in the future, and just add it to my dip!

Hi there, welcome! Like a lot of people, my husband and I have a great DIY sense. We're also good at finding deals and saving money by doing things ourselves, so we developed this website: a resource for both veteran and inexperienced cooks to share the joy of making a meal for the first time.
